The Real Reason Behind President Tinubu’s Visit to Rome for Pope Leo XIV’s Inauguration

As President Bola Ahmed Tinubu attended the inauguration mass of Pope Leo XIV in Rome, it is described to be a deeply symbolic and reflective of the president’s vision for religious harmony and global peace.

President Tinubu, a devout Muslim, stood shoulder to shoulder with global Catholic leaders at the Vatican—a gesture that resonated with Nigeria’s sizeable Christian population. His presence was not merely ceremonial. It was a clear demonstration of interfaith solidarity, underscoring the president’s commitment to fostering national unity in Nigeria, a country often challenged by religious divisions.

According to sources close to the presidency, the event served as an opportunity for Tinubu to reiterate his administration’s openness and support for all faiths. “He has shown solidarity with the millions of Catholics in Nigeria by attending this mass, being himself a Muslim,” a source stated during the broadcast.

Beyond religious inclusivity, President Tinubu’s attendance aligns with shared international aspirations for peace. Pope Leo XIV has been vocal in his calls for the resolution of conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza—two regions at the heart of ongoing humanitarian crises. The Nigerian president, known for advocating regional peace and diplomacy, shares these values.

“This particular pope is committed to the restoration of peace,” the spokesperson said. “These are aspirations also shared by the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”

President Tinubu’s invitation to the high-profile event came directly from Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Vatican’s Secretary of State, on behalf of Pope Leo XIV and the Augustinian Order. The Order has a historical footprint in Nigeria, having spent significant time supporting spiritual and educational development in the country.

“This visit was not just political or symbolic; it was personal,” said the source. “The Pope has a special fondness for Nigeria, and it was important for him that President Tinubu be present at such a special moment in his spiritual leadership journey.”
